Box Score UTICA, NY (10/15/2013) -  Senior captain Kevin McAllister (Boxford, MA/Masconomet Regional) netted two goals and sophomore Greg Silvestro (West Sayville, NY/Connetquot) added an insurance tally in the final minutes to help the Utica College men's soccer team earn a 3-0 victory over visiting Wells College Saturday night at Charles A. Gaetano Stadium. 
The Pioneers (7-7) finished their three-game home stand with a 2-1 record and they have now won four of their last six games.  UC will hit the road for three straight games before returning home on Saturday, November 2 for a key Empire 8 Conference game against Elmira to close out regular season play. 

After a scoreless first half of play, the Pioneers got on the board in the 53rd minute when McAllister finished a penalty kick past Wells goalie Michael Sciotti to give UC a 1-0 advantage.

Less than seven minutes later McAllister tallied his second of the night and team-best sixth goal of the year after drilling a shot off the top cross bar and into the net from 20 yards out. Classmate Jeffrey Cupka (Wilbraham, MA/Minnechaug Regional) earned the assist on the Pioneers' second goal.

Sophomore Greg Silvestro (West Sayville, NY/Connetquot) ripped home the third and final goal of the contest in the 88th minute to secure the 3-0 victory.  Silvestro scored his fifth of the year, from 25 yards out, off a nice assist from freshman Brandon Horton (Liverpool, NY/Liverpool). 

Utica outshot the visitors 22-3 on the afternoon and goalie Anthony Caruso (Easton, CT/Joel Barlow) stopped one shot in his third shutout of the year.

Sciotti made two saves in net for the Express (7-4-2).

The Pioneers will travel to Empire 8 Conference foe Ithaca College on Saturday to square off against the Bombers in a pivotal matchup at 1 p.m.
